Caps & Crowns, Passaic CountyChimney Caps and Crowns Done Right in Passaic County, NJ
Many houses in the northern part of the county sit on wooded lots where branches, leaves and animals all find their way into an uncapped chimney. A screened cap keeps the flue clear and the rain out. The crown below it is the other half of the job: a cracked crown lets water into the masonry, where freezing pushes the brick apart. Our local crew fits caps sized to each flue, in stainless steel so they last, and forms new crowns with an overhang that sheds water away from the brick.

Caps & Crowns for Passaic County Homes
Ringwood is home to Ringwood State Park, about 4,444 acres in the Ramapo Mountains. Houses near that much forest see leaves, twigs and nesting animals in their chimneys, and a good screened cap is the simple fix.
Neighborhoods and place names in Wanaque include Haskell, Midvale, Lake Inez and Meadow Brook Lake. Lakeside homes hold more moisture around the roof, which makes a sound crown and a secure cap more important.
We install caps and crowns in Ringwood, Wanaque, West Milford, Pompton Lakes and Wayne.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
- Birds or animals in the chimney
- Cracks across the crown
